As King Tut has enjoyed success over the past few years bringing in about 500 customers per week to dine on its classic and modernMediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisine, Nasr decided it was time to grow once again — this time back to Somerville.

“Somerville has changed a lot — it wasn’t like it is now when I was working here,” said Nasr, who left Nonna’s in2011. “Now, it’s like the city in the area. Main Street is a lot cleaner and there are always activities going on.”

King Tut will open its second location at 6 W. Main St. in late August, with the ability to seat about 75 people inside and 25 outside to sample its Middle Eastern fusion dishes.

Don’t expect to be served exactly what you’ve been having at the Lebanon location, though. Nasr said he plans on serving updated, upscale Middle Eastern dishes as well as fusion dishes, such as a gyro of thin slices of ribeye steak, Nile River crocodile mixed with marinated tomatoes, herbs and onions and wild salmon crusted with falafel in a grain mustard and whole tomato sauce.

The new restaurant will feature intricate woodwork and lighting imported from Egypt and will be helmed by Chef Omar Aly, formerly of La Scala restaurant in Somerville.

Nasr is looking to hire about 10 employees. Those interested can contact him at the Lebanon location at 908-840-4668.
